This has happened twice to me, for two different files,
with the same size. This file is called "20170528".

-rw-r--r-- 1 kaeding kaeding 4700176384 May 28 16:00 20170528

split -b 47100000 -d 20170528 20170528.

gives these files:

As you can see, the last 10 have extra zeroes in the suffix.

I have coreutils 8.22.

That's done so the files sort easily for subsequent concatenation,
